Divergence Covering
… distributions is Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. Both topics have been massively studied in various contexts, and in this thesis we focus on studying the problem when the two concepts are combined. This combination yields interesting techniques for providing useful bounds on a number …

Divergence in Ergodic Theory
Let (X, B , P) be a non-atomic probability space and let T be an invertible measure-preserving transformation of ( X, B , P). Fix a sequence (mk ) in Z and let f ∈ Lp( X), 1 ≤ p ≤ infinity. We know that, depending on what the powers are, the averages 1n k=1nfTmk x may or may not converge …

Transcriptional divergence during cichlid embryogenesis
… when factors such as phyletic age, sequence divergence, and pleiotropy are considered. The single-cell transcriptomic data provides the first developmental atlas for cichlids, covering four developmental stages: gastrula, somitogenesis, pharyngula, and larval. The single-cell profiles also …

Hox3 duplication and divergence in the Lepidoptera
… due to selection at three separate levels of divergence: within the Ditrysia, within the more recently diverged Heliconius genus, and at the intraspecific level by quantifying nucleotide polymorphism within Pararge aegeria. Selective pressures were found to be operating between paralogous and …

Genetic Divergence Among Subspecies of Basilarchia Arthemis
… and Jordan. The data suggest a greater level of divergence between arthemis and astyanax than between nominal species B. lorquini (Boisduval) and B. weidemeyerii (Edwards), and even more so between rubrofasciata and astyanax.

Dialect Divergence and Identity in Basque Spanish
The study concludes different results for each of the linguistic variables. The extralinguistic factors 'area of residence', 'parental origin', 'language spoken at home' and 'relative exposure to Basque' have an effect on the appearance of the Basque variant [aw], for the /-ado/ variable. In the …

Urban divergence : from physical to social infrastructures
Healthy and sustainable growth of a modern city happens when positive synergy takes place between public transportation and the commercial/residential areas which it serves. In lack of proper synergy, these interfaces ('transit nodes'), lack the human scale, feel sterile and isolated from the …

Obstacle problems with elliptic operators in divergence form
… obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in divergence form. First, I give all of the nontrivial details needed to prove a mean value theorem, which was stated by Caffarelli in the Fermi lectures in 1998. In fact, in 1963, Littman, Stampacchia, and Weinberger proved a mean value theorem for …

Divergence Model for Measurement of Goos-Hanchen Shift
… distribution transfer function of a new divergence model of the Goos-Hanchen phenomena providing verification of the model. This effort includes mathematical modeling techniques, analytical derivations of governing equations, numerical verification of models and sensitivities, optical …

Divergence: Toward a Neurodivergent Latinx Liberative Social Ethic
… society and theological discourse. While neurodivergence and disability are not synonymous, the failure to recognize the marginalization of disability contributes to neurodivergent invisibility. Disability is depoliticized when disability is conceived as an issue of individual embodiment rather …

Saliency detection via divergence analysis: a unified perspective
… a bridge. The saliency is defined in terms of divergence between feature distributions estimated using samples from center and surround, respectively. We explicitly show that these seemingly different algorithms are in fact closely related and derive conditions under which the methods are …

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Commodity ETF Tracking Divergence
This paper investigates differences in returns between the ETF price, Net Asset Value, and Benchmark Asset Baskets for five popular futures-backed ETFs. We decompose tracking difference to examine the relative size of tracking differences attributable to managers versus the arbitrage process. …

On divergence in European human rights laws: the European Convention on Human Rights and European community law: a claim of non-divergence
The issue of divergence in human rights protection (adjudication) between the law of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and European Community/Union (EC/EU) law has been in the centre of academic attention for decades. The position that there are instances of divergence and there is a …

Divergence of Threespine Stickleback That Differ in Nuptial Coloration
… We found substantial phenotypic and genetic divergence between color morphs, and patterns observed in a third, "mixed" morph that are likely due to hybridization between anadromous and freshwater stickleback. This work highlights the central role of natural and sexual selection in the …

The Asymptotic Cone of Teichmuller Space: Thickness and Divergence
… two, and it has superquadratic yet at most cubic divergence. In addition, we characterize strongly contracting quasi-geodesics in Teichmüller space, generalizing results of Brock-Masur-Minsky. As a tool in the thesis, we develop a natural relative of the curve complex called the complex of …

Transcriptional divergence and conservation of human and mouse erythropoiesis
… level we identified a significant extent of divergence between the species, both at comparable stages and in the transitions between stages, especially for the 500 most highly expressed genes during development. This suggests that the response of multiple developmentally regulated genes to …

Foraging ecology, sexual selection, and divergence in sunfish (Lepomis spp.)
